Looking for a CD player


Dear community,
I listen to CDs only and I have owned an entry level AMC CD9 CD player for the past 15 years.
Over time I modified this unit to the max with very good results.
Now I think I am ready to move on to the next level so I am looking for a used CD player under $1,500.
One that can be further improved would be also interesting.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks!

I believe keeping your player and purchasing a DAC is the way to go. Check out MHDT DACs as one possibility. The Orchid is a little over your $1000 budget but is well thought of. Check it out on this forum.
 
+1 soix. I would purchase a DAC. $1500 can purchase a very good one. 

I own the Audio Mirror Tubadour III DAC. It is R2R with a tube output stage. Basic model sells for $1500. In stock form it is very good. It can be upgraded at a later date. USA made. Check out AM on this forum. I also use the Cambridge transport.
